• Pick another monster: "We only have two weeks left before the wedding ceremony... I guess I should start turning into Bridezilla." —C.
  
  
• I suspect this quote will not spawn nearly as much superheros-in-bodypaint porn as it ought to: "This sad outcome even in the wake of thousands of dollars spent and months of hard work given to sewing and to packing foam rubber into helmets has an obvious, an unavoidable, explanation: a superhero's costume is constructed not of fabric, foam rubber, or adamantium but of halftone dots, Pantone color values, inked containment lines, and all the cartoonist's sleight of hand." —Michael Chabon (via)
  
  
• Train your brain: "The brain has a limited capacity for self-regulation, so exerting willpower in one area often leads to backsliding in others. The good news, however, is that practice increases willpower capacity." —Sandra Aamodt and Sam Wang (via)
  
  
• A sonnet to insomnia = good; fumbled ending = bad: "I've thought of all by turns, and still I lie / Sleepless" —William Wordsworth
  
  
• I can't help but go awww: "Narcoleptic seeks insomniac for unscheduled nap times." —Anonymous (via)
